UK farmers under pressure – with Tom Bradshaw | EP 64
British farmers are facing many of the same pressures as Kiwi farmers – rising costs, land use change, tougher environmental rules, and greater public scrutiny.
Tom Bradshaw, president of the UK’s National Farmers’ Union, joins us to share what’s happening on the ground, with the looming new inheritance tax of greatest concern. Tom also talks about what’s happening with farmer confidence, public perception, climate policy, Jeremy Clarkson, and more.
Hear about the challenges, wins and day-to-day realities of farming in the UK, and how it compares to life on the farm in New Zealand.
